The specific features of pollution spread in the northwest Pacific Ocean
Description: In this paper researchers present two calculations of pollutant dispersal in the Pacific Ocean: (1) during possible ship-wrecks in the process of spent nuclear fuel transportation from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and (2) pollutant spread from the Japanese coast after the Fukushima-1 nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011. The circulation was calculated using a σ model of ocean hydrothermodynamics. [Source: Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics]
